After deeming the Umm al-Fahm march asuccess, Israel's extremeright announced it plans to publish regular reports on activities in Arab towns and villages.

Radical right-wing activist Itamar Ben Gvir explained: "The committee will be made up of subsections, with each section in charge of different things, like building violations, affiliation with terror groups, and infringing on Jewish freedom of movement." The Right, he added, is now contemplating holding processions in other Arab towns as well.
Baruch Marzel, of the extreme Right, added that the march was "a great success, proving that if the police are willing, they can uphold both public order and the law."
Other rightist sources said that the unrest noted during the march will not be ignored, adding they will demand the "police exhaust all measures with those outlaws." Ben Ari is expected to demand the police update him on the status of those detained during the march.
